Selection

I've forgotten how to do this.

In Photoshop 7 when you make a selection and you want to move just the selection pixels, i.e. the marching ants, in order to make the ants "fit" a little better, what are the commands you use.

Thanks.

If you want to move the whole selection, just pointer somewhere in the selected area and drag.

To add or subtract, use the lasso.

In order to make selection fit something: selection>transform selection (this allow you to just move the selection too)

With a selection tool (Marquee, lasso). If you do it with the Move tool for instance, the image pixels will move. If you do it with the Eyedropper it won't move anything.

Sorry !!! I 'presumed' we -=were=- working with one of the selection type tools engaged, not tools designed for other purposes!

Select quick mask mode or hotkey (Q) when you've got a selection and you can do some amazing modifications, including:

Controlled feather.
Controlled masking
Gradient masking
Opacity change
Curves adjustements to mask for contrast.

Unselect quick mask mode (Q again) and the modified selection is in marching ants mode again.
